Finanjo Ventures, a full-stack personal finance platform aimed at young Indians, said it has raised Rs 1.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by AJVC.
The startup will use fresh capital to boost product development, strengthen the platform’s AI capabilities, and expand its user base in the country.
The Jaipur-based startup, which was founded by Prithviraj Singh Chauhan and Pankaj Singh Chauhan in 2025, says it is built on India’s Account Aggregator framework with the aim to helps young Indians understand their money and make better financial decisions through AI-powered guidance.
The startup claims that it has onboarded more than 5,000 users with approximately 500 daily active users and over Rs 25 crore in connected savings. It adds that it has already started generating early revenue through fixed deposit and mutual fund referral commissions.
"We’re not building another tracking app. We’re building a system designed around financial behaviour – one that helps users learn, optimise, save, and grow, without feeling overwhelmed," said Prithviraj Singh Chauhan, founder & CEO, Finanjo.
Aviral Bhatnagar, Managing Partner, AJVC, noted that Gen Z is struggling with money and young people need someone to guide them.
"What stood out about Finanjo was the team’s genuine understanding of this age group... That’s why we backed them," added Bhatnagar.
